Swift Alps Conference

This post was originally posted in https://blog.liip.ch/archive/2016/12/20/swift-alps-conference.html .

Last month my colleague Kilian and I were pleased to attend the Swift Alps Conference, an experimental conference about Swift taking place in the Swiss Alps. This conference had a different format from what one can expect from a typical software development conference. In this case the format was more focused in experimenting and collaborating with other attendees with the goal of learning something new.

Open sourcing Suggestions Box

Suggestions Box is an open-source library now updated to Swift 3 made to aggregate users feedback about suggestions, features or comments in order to help you build a better product.

Introducing Swift 3.0

With the new iPhone 7 Apple has released the iOS 10 operating system and with it comes Xcode 8 and a new version of the Swift language for the iOS developer community.

Swift 3.0 is an open source language that has been developed by the community together with Apple Engineers.

One of the great things about developing an open source language is that everybody can see the evolution of the language and inspect the code. In the official release notes there is a list of all the changes that have been implemented in the new Swift version.

Code

A better way to use NSLog

This is a better way to use NSLog. Adding the next snipped of code in your app pch file (app-name-Prefix.pch) and then replacing all the “NSLog” of your project for “DebugLog” we can improve the performance of the app when it is not in the debug mode.
Another feature is that this code also shows the File name, line number and method name for each log. I added some more stuff so all the logs appears aligned by columns and are easy to read.

1 .Add this code in your pch file.

// Shows the logs just in the debug mode with the fileName, line number and method.
#ifdef DEBUG
#define DebugLog( s, ... ) NSLog( @"[FILE]%@ %*s [LINE]%-*d [METHOD]%@ %*s [MESSAGE]%@", [[NSString stringWithUTF8String:__FILE__] lastPathComponent],30 - ([[[NSString stringWithUTF8String:__FILE__] lastPathComponent] length]),"", 5,__LINE__, NSStringFromSelector(_cmd), 75 - ([NSStringFromSelector(_cmd) length]),"", [NSString stringWithFormat:(s), ##__VA_ARGS__] )
#else
#define DebugLog( s, ... )
#endif

2. Replace the NSLog for DebugLog.

 // Before:

NSLog(@"Log with some message");

// After:
DebugLog(@"Log with some message");

3.Results.

 // Results Before:

Log with some message

// Results After:

[FILE]ViewController.m [LINE]30 [METHOD]viewDidLoad [MESSAGE]Log with some message

Hope this is helpful guys!
